Red, White, and Blue Pico de Gallo

It’s just not Independence Day if you don’t make something red, white, and blue. I scoured Pinterest, looking for a healthy patriotic dish that wasn’t a dessert. I happened upon this recipe for Blueberry, Strawberry & Jicama Salsa by Maria and Josh of Two Peas and Their Pod. It immediately jumped out at me becauseContinueContinue reading “Red, White, and Blue Pico de Gallo”

Baked Parmesan Crusted Zucchini

I love zucchini any way it’s cooked. Growing up, my Grammy made the best fried zucchini. My mouth waters just remembering it. I rarely make it because the frying isn’t all that healthy and it’s also kind of a pain. I decided to take a stab at doing an oven baked, slightly-altered version with some freshContinueContinue reading “Baked Parmesan Crusted Zucchini”

Spicy Zucchini Spaghetti with Turkey Meatballs

I’ve been planning to cook zucchini spaghetti for two months and never have actually done it, despite it being on the menu. Tonight I finally did since I had plenty of zucchini in the fridge to be used. I went into this not having a plan but I knew that I had to useContinueContinue reading “Spicy Zucchini Spaghetti with Turkey Meatballs”

Grilled Sriracha Honey Chicken

Because I knew Garen Grillmaster was already going to be grilling Cilanro Ranch Chicken for us last night, I went ahead whipped some sauce up for him to cook some Grilled Sriracha Honey Chicken. Garen loves Sriracha…He puts it on an estimated 40% of his food, so when I saw the pin of Sweet Sriracha Chicken from KaceyContinueContinue reading “Grilled Sriracha Honey Chicken”

Cilantro Ranch Chicken

This is another one of my thrown-together “using what I’ve got” recipes. I had a Sam’s club size container of sour cream. Usually, I only use sour cream with chicken in casseroles or crockpot dishes, so I was really going out on limb here deciding to grill it. I even broke one of my cardinalContinueContinue reading “Cilantro Ranch Chicken”

Cooking with Kids: Ham and Cheese Croissants

Every Saturday that we are home lunch sneaks up on us and I’ve forgotten to plan anything. When this happens, I often think of the options of food we have leftover to be used or eaten. Imagine me standing in front of the fridge looking at my leftovers. Yesterday the kids were leaving to goContinueContinue reading “Cooking with Kids: Ham and Cheese Croissants “

Repurposing Food: Berry Shortcake Parfait

Last night I made strawberry shortcake for dessert. And when I say I made strawberry shortcake, I mean Sam’s Club bakery made fresh pound cakes, which I sliced and served with fresh sliced strawberries, raspberries, and cool whip. Ok, I know it was lazy but it was still tasty and (best of all) easy. I digress. IContinueContinue reading “Repurposing Food: Berry Shortcake Parfait”
